The Autopian Track Day at Lime Rock Park: An Event Like No Other
The upcoming Autopian track day at Lime Rock Park is shaping up to be an extraordinary event, and it's already sold out for drivers! But fear not, spectators, there's still a chance to be a part of this unique experience. With a focus on fun and spirited driving, this track day is a reader meetup and autocross-style event, offering a unique blend of car enthusiasts and casual observers.
A Spectacle of Speed and Style
What makes this event truly special is the diverse range of vehicles on display. While the list of signed-up cars is impressive, it's the absence of certain models that adds to the intrigue. Notably, there are no Miatas, only four Mazdas (including a Kei truck or van), and a plethora of Porsche Boxsters and 911s. But the real head-turner is a famous 911, a Caprice PPV, and a Pontiac Vibe. And if the weather cooperates, a renowned figure might bring his Renault 4, adding to the chaotic yet captivating atmosphere.
A Spectator's Delight
For those who prefer to watch, the experience is just as thrilling. Imagine a car show and a lunch event, with a skidpad for added excitement. It's a safe and controlled environment, thanks to the helmets-optional policy and the presence of instructors. You can even try your hand at the 2CV, provided you sign a waiver. The food is excellent, and the surprise awards will keep everyone entertained.
